Thus hath it been sent down from the heaven of the Will of your Lord, the Lord of Revelation.
Bahá'u'lláh... The decrees of the Sovereign Ordainer, as related to fate and predestination, are of two kinds. Both are to be obeyed and accepted. The one is irrevocable, the other is, as termed by men, impending. To the former all must unreservedly submit, inasmuch as it is fixed and settled. God however, is able to alter or repeal it. As the harm that must result from such a change will be greater than if the decree had remained unaltered, all, therefore, should willingly acquiesce in what God hath willed and confidently abide by the same.
Bahá'u'lláhO ye rich ones on earth! The poor in your midst are My trust; guard ye My trust, and be not intent only on your own ease.
Bahá'u'lláhThe betterment of the world can be accomplished through pure and goodly deeds and through commendable and seemly conduct.
Bahá'u'lláhSince We have created you all from one same substance it is incumbent on you to be even as one soul, to walk with the same feet, eat with the same mouth and dwell in the same land, that from your inmost being, by your deeds and actions, the signs of oneness and the essence of detachment may be made manifest. Such is My counsel to you, O concourse of light!
Bahá'u'lláh
